There are all kinds of stories. From the beluga fish caught and dragged into the boat, from which he got enough money to buy a new boat and new fishing sets, drinking until the morning for weeks on end, to the tragedies of losing the fishing sets… It is effectively a Wild West. Just as others in the Wild West were digging, mining, mining ore, washing it, the same thing happened in the pond. You spread the tools, the nugget went in, the nugget didn’t go in, you threw it somewhere else, the nugget came out. The first thing you did was go to the pub, because that’s normal and natural in any gold rush. It wasn’t the miners who got rich in the Wild West, it was the people who sold alcohol. The innkeepers also got rich in the Delta, because that’s where the fishermen went to drink with the money they earned. They managed to “strike”, they drink of happiness. They had a loss, they drink of trouble. That’s it. And there are stories. There are many stories about fishermen. With fishermen who earned money, with fishermen who continued this activity as serious people, who did it as a job and as an investment, and that any investment developed as it should. And fishermen who strike today, tomorrow they had a loss and they are still poor and have continued to be. As in any activity, there is no difference.
